Paysafe has introduced a payment feature for iGaming operators and daily fantasy sports platforms in the United States, reflecting increasing consumer interest in digital currencies. The offering, called Pay with Crypto, allows players to fund accounts using cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, with transactions supported through a partnership with MoonPay.
The company launched the solution as cryptocurrency adoption expands among US consumers. Estimates show about 70.4 million American adults own digital assets, while internal research indicates that 83% of players are open to using crypto for payments. The feature enables users to deposit funds directly from their crypto holdings.
Players can choose assets such as USD Coin (USDC) or other major cryptocurrencies. Once initiated, the system converts funds into US dollars, allowing gameplay to proceed where permitted.
How the System Works for Players and Operators
To complete a transaction, users select the Pay with Crypto option and link their crypto wallet, including custodial wallets. The process also supports QR code payments via mobile devices using MoonPay’s checkout technology. After verification, the funds are transferred and converted instantly into US currency for use within the platform.
The system’s structure also offers flexibility on the operator side. Businesses can choose how they receive settlements, opting for near-instant transfers in stablecoins to their crypto wallets or selecting payouts in US dollars or other fiat currencies through MoonPay’s virtual account infrastructure.
Integration requires only a single connection through the Paysafe Gateway, a platform tailored for iGaming. This system already includes multiple payment methods, such as card processing, Skrill digital wallets, PaysafeCash, Pay by Bank, and more than 30 localized options. The addition of crypto payments expands the range of available transaction methods for operators seeking to meet evolving user preferences.
Industry Shift Toward Digital Payment Methods
Company executives pointed to changing attitudes toward cryptocurrency as a factor behind the launch. Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, said: “Galvanized by the growing popularity of stablecoins, cryptocurrency is evolving in the US from an investment asset into a unit of value for payments, and we’re seeing this shift gather pace in the country’s iGaming market.
Against this backdrop, we’re delighted to unveil Pay with Crypto, a forward-thinking solution that strongly positions US operators for their customers’ changing transactional preferences – the future of how they pay when they play.”
Ivan Soto-Wright, Founder and CEO of MoonPay, commented: “Crypto rails are making payments faster and more efficient, and our job is to close the gap between this technology and real-world utility. People shouldn’t have to convert their digital assets just to make a purchase – they want to use what they already have. Paysafe brings that experience to more people through trusted, regulated platforms.”
With this launch, Paysafe expands its payments ecosystem while responding to broader trends in digital finance, giving both players and operators additional options for handling transactions as adoption rises.
